Neurofeedback and Autism

Neurofeedback and Autism

Autistic kids are the patients, which emotions me most. Autism has very little help, but with Neurofeedback we can achieve great changes.

I still remember our first autistic client. He was 3 years old boy, lets call him Angel.

When Angel came to Neurovitalia, he went all around our office, in every room. He was investigating everything, but still he didn´t look at me or anybody else. We were just like any furniture in the office.

Angel had scars in his left hand as he had a habit to bite it so strong that started to bleed. He was also quite silent boy as he didn´t say word, not even baby talk.

At the beginning Angel had to be sitting in his mothers lap so that he would not pull the electrodes off, but that changed soon. After 4 sessions Anel stopped biting his hand. The placement we use for initial calming also increases the body awareness.

Result is that biting the hand starts to hurt.

The session number 16 I remember best. Angel came with his father. The session went fine and just when they were leaving, father said: “say goodbye”. Angel turned around, looked directly to my eyes, waved his hand and then they left. But I stayed standing still wondering “did that real happen”?

That was a huge step, that was communication and that changes the future. Three years later Angel entered to a normal School.
